[Note 18: After G.Hall, Esq.

the Governor's Private Secretary.] The road being very heavy, it was late when we arrived there, and both our horses and sheep were much fatigued.

We got a little water from holes in the sheets of granite, and had very good grass in an opening under the hill.
From the summit of Mount Hall the view was extensive, and I obtained many angles.

The surrounding country was low, level, and barren, and densely covered with scrub, among which, to the north-west were seen many salt-water lakes.

At intervals a few elevations were seen amidst this low waste, apparently similar to the hill we were upon, among them were one or two very distant at a little N.of E., and nearer, one at E.16 degrees N.; the latter I named Mount Cooper.
